weed torch

Garden flame tool

A weed torch is a handheld propane-powered tool that kills weeds with intense heat rather than chemicals.

The flame doesn't need to incinerate plants—it ruptures cell walls, causing them to wilt and die within days.

Gardeners use them on driveways, patios, and gravel paths where precision matters less than in flower beds: I hit the driveway cracks with the weed torch every spring.
